    It is in MP4 format filmed with my cell phone.

    Any suggestions or tips are welcome.

    Generally your upload speed is pathetic ...like 0.5 Mbps ...use a 4 G LTE router with a sim card ...you will find the upload and download speed a lot better if you have good reception ...i get 19 up and 19 download using a ZTE 4 G router... my telkom adsl line i get 3 download and 0. 5 Mbps upload speed (i have a 10 meg line)

    This fire started because of a connector block used to connect an aircon ...fortunately the aircon exploded flew across the room and took out the kitchen cupboard 10 m away and woke the person up who was sleeping in the room...which saved her life

    thank goodness for metal detectors ...i am sure the rule book says no joint plastered into the wall ...this is very common for builders electricians to cover up stuff knowing it is a hit and run job
